Introduction

This ‘Toolkit’ is designed as a summary reminder of the key elements of practising evidence-based medicine (EBM), focusing on diagnostic studies and research questions. It has largely been adapted from resources developed at the Centre for Evidence-based Medicine. For more detailed coverage, you should refer to further reading and references that we cite throughout.
The first page of each chapter presents a ‘minimalist’ check list of the key points. Further sections within each chapter address these points in more detail and give additional background information. Ideally you should just need to refer to the first page to get the basics and delve into the further sections as required.
